Use it as a mood light, or create your own “ambient device” that gently notifies you of new email or instant messages!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cube4 is supplied as a partly-assembled kit: the controller board is fully assembled with all surface mount parts already fitted. You just need to solder in the LEDs and assemble the 3D matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cube4 comes with a sketch pre-installed that runs through a test pattern and listens to the serial port for other commands. Once you have assembled your Cube4 you can connect to it using a serial monitor (such as the one built in to the Arduino IDE) and send simple commands to create your own patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also upload your own sketches using the Arduino IDE and the Cube4 library, which makes it easy for you to define your own animations and displays. For example, you could display:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather conditions based on online weather service data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart beat animation driven by a heart rate monitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour animations synthronised to music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe water level in a water tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhether your last software build passed or failed its tests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA visualisation of how much power your house is using\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotifications for IM and email\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA visual count-down timer for some event\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c8hrxd72H2E\" height=\"270\" width=\"480\" data-ss1481713112=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4x4x4 matrix of individually addressable 8mm RGB LEDs (total 64 LEDs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimple assembly using a PCB frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnboard ATmega32u4 MCU (Arduino Leonardo compatible)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSB interface for uploading new sketches and sending serial commands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArduino driver library with example programs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePCB space for optional ZigBee-compatible sockets so you can add a wireless module \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototyping area so you can add sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreakouts for Arduino headers for sensors and communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.freetronics.com\/cube-assembly\"\u003eCube hardware assembly guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.freetronics.com\/pages\/installing-the-usb-driver-file-for-windows\"\u003eWindows Freetronics USB driver installation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.freetronics.com\/cube-firmware\"\u003eCube library tutorial and examples\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.freetronics.com\/cube-commands\"\u003eCube serial command reference\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/forum.freetronics.com\/cube4\"\u003eCube section of the Freetronics Forum\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.freetronics.com\/pages\/features-on-the-cube4-pcb\"\u003eGuide to Features (expansion areas) on the Cube4 PCB\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8932\/files\/cube4-schematic-all.pdf?555\"\u003eCube schematics (circuit diagram)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/freetronics\/Cube4-hardware\"\u003eDesign files\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Freetronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32902352896132,"sku":"FREETRONICS-CUBE4","price":89.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0368\/0337\/9332\/products\/cube1_1024x1024_9750013d-957e-477f-826f-6b00e2e14c92.jpg?v=1584964737","url":"https:\/\/roboticles.myshopify.com\/products\/4x4x4-rgb-led-cube","provider":"roboticles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
